These are 18th Japanese reproductions of
Chinese Tang Dynasty ceramics of this
style and coloration. Reproductions of
the “Spinach & Egg” ceramics have been
done by the Chinese, the Japanese & the
Dutch at various periods. The Japanese
ceramics were traded in the Indonesian
archipelago, where they became a local
barter currency.

These “Spinach & Egg” ceramics were collected by Mr. Strusinski over an extensive period of search in the Indonesia Archipelago. All available specimens all display an
unusually fine condition, being free of
cracks and chips in the glaze. Specimens such as these are very rare, and a collection of this size is not commonly available to collectors.
